 The leadership and management team is strong. Leaders and managers continuously strive to improve the quality of teaching and learning. They listen to the views of parents and staff and use these to develop clear improvement plans.  Partnerships with parents are highly effective.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The highly qualified staff use their expert knowledge and skills to help children develop good communication skills. For example, they use sign language during activities to support children's emerging language development. Children respond well to this and use some sign language during their play. Staff encourage children's critical-thinking skills and consider their views as they pose questions, such as 'What would you like to sing next?' Staff plan interactive activities to engage younger children in learning. They help children to develop an awareness of differences and changes that occur in other species and plants. For instance, children learn about the life cycle of a butterfly using sign language and actions to represent the changes that occur. Children plant strawberry seeds and herbs, and observe the changes that happen as they grow. Staff accurately assess and track children's progress. They work closely with the leadership team and other agencies

to ensure children receive the individual support they need from an early stage.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are delighted as staff celebrate and praise them for their achievements. Staff consistently support children in their choice of play. This helps to ensure they remain engaged and focused. Children's behaviour is good. They are confident learners, have their own ideas and are willing to have a go. For example, children feed different sized objects down various tubes and chase them as they roll along in the outdoor area. Staff support children well as they seek to find the objects and give clues, such as 'you are getting closer' or 'you need to look under'. Children independently complete self-care routines at snack and lunchtime. Staff talk to children about the food they eat and support parents to make healthy choices for their children.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

All children make good rates of progress from their starting points. Children are well prepared for the next stages of their learning. They enjoy singing nursery rhymes and listen carefully as they follow instructions.
